Anthony Rizzo went 2-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored as his club beat the Cardinals on Saturday.

The Cubs' three-hole hitter served in a table-setting capacity in this one, getting on base three times and twice being driven in by Albert Almora. The first baseman is having another elite fantasy season, slashing .281/.399/.527 with 32 home runs, 106 RBI, 96 runs scored and 10 stolen bases. The home runs and runs are career highs and he needs just three more RBI to match his high set last year. Sep 16 - 7:31 PM

Anthony Rizzo finished 3-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, two runs scored and two stolen bases as the Cubs punished the Mets 14-6 on Thursday.

The Cubs have scored 31 runs in their past two games, thanks in no small part to Rizzo, who did a bit of everything in Thursday's affair. The two steals give him 10 for the season, just the second time in seven seasons he's hit the double-digit plateau. He's more familiar with the 30-homer mark, a hurdle he's cleared in each of the past four seasons. This one is shaping up to be his best in a number of offensive categories, though, with a few weeks to play; Rizzo is hitting .280/.397/.530 with 32 homers, 106 RBI, 93 runs scored and those 10 steals in 143 games this year.

Deuces were wild for Anthony Rizzo on Thursday, with the first baseman going 2-for-2 with two RBI, two runs scored and two walks in an 8-2 win over the Pirates.

Rizzo collected two of the Cubs' 13 hits in the victory, his fifth multi-hit game since August 29. His two RBI leaves him with 102 RBI on the year, good for fifth-most in the National League. He also ranks among the league leaders in homers (31, seventh), runs scored (90, eighth) and walks (79, fifth). The 28-year-old is hitting .280/.396/.532 overall. Sep 8 - 12:40 AM

Anthony Rizzo is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Pirates.

He's just getting a breather. Victor Caratini will get the start at first base and eighth. Sep 5 - 2:59 PM

Koji Uehara admitted Sunday that he "can't throw" due to back tightness.

Uehara has also dealt with a right knee issue recently and hasn't pitched since September 2. The Cubs haven't officially ruled the veteran reliever out for the rest of the season, but things are trending that way. Uehara posted a 2.73 ERA in the first half but holds a 6.75 ERA since the All-Star break, as injuries have caught up to the 42-year-old.
